Host what do you focus on specifically as far as post presidency . Guest i use the funeral is kind of the baseline and then i do flashbacks and flashforwards, so its really the seven days each chapter represents pretty much one day although, there are other chapters as well of the funeral, but i do a lot of flashbacks over the last several years of his presidency, his retirement and obviously that alzheimer.
